Calling all bikers and fans in Central New York – The Ride For Kids, benefiting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, is fast approaching.

The walk will take place on Sunday, July 31. This year is the 25th anniversary ride and will leave the Deerfield Volunteer Fire Department and ride to Old Forge. Enjoy a light breakfast and the best chicken barbecue prepared by the Barneveld Fire Department. Imagine a world without childhood brain tumours. This is the future we are fighting for. We need your help.

When parents and caregivers experience the devastating loss of their child to a brain tumor, the journey doesn’t end. For the rest of their lives, they carry the memory of their child and their grief, going through feelings of pain, despair and isolation.

If your child died of a brain tumour, their community of families is there for you today and every day. Call or email our Family Support Managers at 800-253-6530, x306 and [email protected]
